		<description>I gathered that since I see all sorts of messages get posted and disappear that are stupid or inexpressive non-points, often with so-called offensive language involved.  
 
I didn&#039;t recall either of her statements as being anything other than an extreme expression and opinion on the issue and were not written in netspeak or with threatening or offensive language. I assume the content could be regarded as offensive by some, but content screening shouldn&#039;t be used if you&#039;re willing to bring up the questions and issues involved in talking about abortions in the first place.  
 
Granted she&#039;s said basically the same thing about 4 or 5 times by now, so has about everyone else on this one. Nobody looks to be moving anyway. I say let them fight it out and see who blinks first.  </description>

		<description>Oh and thank you. I do not understand why they deleted my comment. I know we have different views, so for you to say this shows you believe in the freedom of speech. Thank you. </description>

		<description>Yea Sun Tzu, not everyone is entitled to an opinion on this site. I know the moderators and if they didn&#039;t delete 30-40+ comments a day, then this site would be full of a lot of excess comments that people just submit to vent over. </description>

		<description>God creates every child and plans out their life. What their talents are, who their mother is, and so forth. Every child is a child of  Christ. Now I believe that child has life from the very secound the sperm fertilizes the egg, but since you don&#039;t I&#039;ll work arpund for you to understand my point. Anyways, God loves each child, and to see this abortion take place to his creation just hurts him. Tha child and every Child needs a fighting chance. Remember our Natural Rights: LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Every child is a individual creation of God and could never be replaced.  </description>

		<description>Most miscarriages and abortions occur at a time point well before a late term abortion where the spinal column is disconnected or the skull crushed. For example first term abortions are typically performed using drugs which effectively act to induce a miscarriage. I know however that it&#039;s not feeling anything because they don&#039;t rip and tear apart the fetal tissue as you describe without administering some sort of drug or procedure to ensure it is necrotic tissue (meaning it&#039;s already dead). It&#039;s kind of hard to remove a live fetus through the birth canal in case you hadn&#039;t noticed. Women don&#039;t tend to spend hours in labour delivering babies because it&#039;s such a wonderful experience to go through that they want it to last as long as possible. Partial birth methods are a bit less gruesome than this, but apparently illegal in most cases.  
 
In any case, late term abortions like that are very, very rarely made by choice or by some voluntary process. They&#039;re almost always due to health complications. This is in part because most states have restrictions on access for such things so that there are only a handful of abortion clinics in the country that perform them. Demand as a result would have to be by this necessity more limited to the wealthy or to people with severe health issues that necessitate the procedure.  
 
So the &quot;it&#039;s okay because they said it is&quot; is hardly ever an issue under the logic that most people permit abortions for medical necessities. There are some who are more strident about this still, as can be noted even this debate here, but they represent a minority of moral feeling on this issue. It&#039;s basically a moral &quot;self-defence&quot; exception even for the people who feel &quot;abortion is murder&quot; under the typical late-term abortion.  
The percentage of actual abortions that this falls under as a result is so extremely low as to be heavily misleading to call it a major problem for society (something like 6% of all abortions occur after 13 weeks and less than .1% after 24). That is consistent across countries with more forgiving access to abortion as well.  
 
There are better and more effective ways to get people to stop needing or wanting abortions than to try to scare them with misleading data and horror stories or to call them all murderers and baby-killers.  </description>

		<description>I&#039;m not sure how you can claim that I said anything like that. I said &quot;comprehensive sex education&quot; which implies that they&#039;re being informed of things like birth control or condoms, STDs, etc. They tend to use them rather than just have unprotected sex when they&#039;re reasonably informed and they are available. Which thus means we are less likely to see teenage pregnancies (as well as other adult couples who could more adequately control when they get pregnant). The hostility toward birth control on the part of many anti-abortion advocates is amazingly high and in my opinion, heavily counterproductive toward an actually achieveable goal of reducing the amount of abortions. Which is a goal I would imagine that most pro-choice advocates would be perfectly fine with working on.  
 
You&#039;re never going to get rid of all of them because not all states and other nation-states are not going to reissue the bans even if Roe-Wade were (somehow) overturned.  </description>

		<description>Again nice. Only, to me, wrong is wrong and life is life. How do you know that the child who is having its spinal cord disconnected form it&#039;s brain isn&#039;t feeling anything?  You can&#039;t very well ask it and that is a risk I don&#039;t think any person should take. To me, it isn&#039;t worth it to &quot;end&quot; a potential child under the impression that &quot;it&#039;s okay, because they said it is&quot;.  </description>
